A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties. I should have no problem crossing this desert! But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river. “It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and left yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean.” said the desert, “Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze.”No! No! The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again to continue its course,” explained the desert very patiently. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes,” continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, while carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to overcome (克服) the difficulties in your life to head for the success, you should also change the way you used to be.

1.The little stream aimed to reach ________.

A.the forest B.the ocean C.the desert D.the river

2.Before the stream reached the desert, she didn’t ________.

D.we should change the way we used to be to succeed sometimes

Imagine you are living in a moving house. Inside the house, there is a small kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.Everything you need is close at hand.

In the US, you can really see these moving houses on the mad. They are called recreational vchicles(RV,房车).People call them houses on wheels. When it's holiday time, the whole family often gets into this lovely house

and hits the road for a trip across the country.

Compared to a real house, this home on the road is small for a family who has to spend every hour of every day together. But the best thing about it is that it changes your journey into a free exploration.

Of course, RVs are not always convenient(便利).They can sometimes break down and you have to spend time mending them. But this type of road trip still wins people's hearts because they can go whenever and wherever they want.

It was one o’clock in the morning when I at last succeeded in creating life.

As I looked at the lifeless human being, I saw one eye slowly open. Then he began to breathe and move his arms. At first, I thought he would be a fine-looking man. He had yellow skin, black hair and very white teeth. Unluckily, his eyes were watery, and his lips were thin and colorless. I soon realized that there was nothing beautiful about him. I ran out of the room, disgusted (恶心) by the creature I had created. I tried to sleep, but for hours I could not. Then, when I did get to sleep, I had bad dreams. When I

awoke the next morning, I did not want to return to my laboratory and the monster I had created.I went for a long walk until I came to an inn. There, to my pleasure and surprise, I found my friend, Henry Clerval. “Tell me about my family,” I asked him. “And Elizabeth, How is she?”

“They are all well, Frankenstein,” he said. “But you do not look well, my friend. Your eyes look as if you have not slept for many weeks.”

I knew this was true. “I have been so busy,” I explained, “that I have been working without rest.” Henry walked back with me to my department. I did not want him to, but I could not stop him. I was afraid that the creature I had left there might be alive and walking about. When we reached my apartment, I asked Henry to wait outside for a few minutes. I did not explain why. I slowly opened the door and entered the room. To my surprise, it was empty. The creature had gone. I was so overcome by the feeling that I fainted. I was ill for many months.

During my illness, Henry was my only nurse. He heard me talking in my sleep about a monster. At first, he thought I was just having a bad dream, but then he realized that something very bad happened in my life. At last, I began to get better.

Do you know that a student can produce up to 240 pounds of school waste and lots of waste gas (气体) during a term? This includes transportation, food, paper, pens, pencils and so on.

Transportation Some parents drive their kids to school every day. We all know waste gas from cars is a main cause air pollution. If parents who live in a neighborhood can take turns to drive their kids to school each day, that’ll be better. Another way of going green is to walk to school if students live near their schools.

Food It’s surprising that only one elementary school can produce up to 19,000 pounds of lunch waste each year. That’s only one school. One way to help take care of the environment is to stop using plastic bags. There are all kinds of environmental boxes for students to put their food in.

Paper, pens and pencils Lots of paper is thrown away by American students. They throw away about 1.6 billion pens every year. They waste many pens and chemicals (化学药品) in them are bad for the environment. Many more pencils are thrown away than pens. Pencils are made from trees, so if more pencils are thrown away, more trees will be cut down. So students should reuse (再使用) paper, pens and pencils instead of throwing them away.

Backpacks As fashion comes and goes, almost every kid needs a new backpack every year. They can save lots of money and materials if they reuse the same schoolbags each year.

How to save the environment
Transportation	If possible, parents in a neighborhood should 1. to drive their kids to school each day. Students can go to school 2. if their homes are not far from their schools.
Food	3. can be used to keep food for lunch instead of plastic bags.
Paper, pens and pencils	Papers, pens and pencils shouldn’t 4., but be reused.
Backpacks	Lots of money and materials can be saved if the same 5. each year.

阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。

As a saying goes, “If you have a good friend, your joys are doubled and your sorrows are halved.” Friends are a helping hand, a comforting shoulder to lean on, a patient ear to listen to you and most importantly, a warm and loving hug to embrace (拥抱) you. Man is a social animal by nature. We all need friends, as they are there for us when we need support, just as we are there for them whenever they need us. Therefore, it is necessary for you to know how to make friends.

The first step is to open yourself up. If you want to make good friends, you should be able to share your thoughts and feelings with other people first. Only when you share something of yourself with others, can you begin making friends. When your friends open a conversation with you, they are usually expecting you to share information in return. That is to say, when you are in a conversation, you’d better express your own thoughts and feelings. If a conversation is one-sided, the person doing all the talking may think the other person is not interested in what he is saying. So, when talking with your friends, be sure that the conversation is a two-way street.

One of the most important keys to building a solid (坚固的) friendship with other people is to listen to them — really listen. When your friends tell you something that happened to them or complain about a situation, they are usually not looking for agreement but just want to be heard. So don’t try to change their mind or solve their problems, just let them know that you are listening to them.

Respecting your friends is also important to keep your relationships healthy and strong. Looking at your friends while they are talking to you is one way to show your respect, as they will feel that what they are saying is important to you.

Unconditional support and encouragement is one of the things which friends have. True friendship means offering a shoulder when they need it, crying with them when they are sad, and laughing with them when they are happy. Only in this way, can the tree of friendship last for a long time.

The 1. of friendship	Friends make your happiness more and your sadness less. Friends are always ready to 2. and support you
3. to make friends	Open yourself up	Share your 4. and feelings with others. Always respond when your friends are talking to you.
5. to your friends	Don’t try to 6. their mind or solve their problems, just listen.
7. your friends	Have 8. contact (接触) when talking to a friend.
Support and 9. your friends	Offer a shoulder when your friends are in 10.. Cry with them when they are sad, and laugh with them when they are happy.
